Found this on Geograph, interesting wheels in the bottom of the lock.

 

Nottingham Canal Wollaton Flight

About halfway down the flight of locks on the Nottingham Canal, looking towards the summit level, in 1963.The exact date of the shot is not known other than the year.

That one looks more like Bath, and Mogg is certainly a name from round here. But I'm not sure the locks were ever empty like that. The gates look in very good condition for a closed canal.

Forum merged my seperate posts.

No location was given on pinterest for that second picture, this forum will probably identify it though.

 

From the amount of undergrowth it's closed a while.

 I think it's the second lock down in the Bath flight, taken from the top lock

 

From memory the bottom lock and then the top four were restored but not used for a few years until the deep one (which merged the two unrestored ones) was opened.

I have walked that flight, but don't remember it.

It's Bath.
